Hi,
Recently the alpm_db_get_{pkg,grp}cache() functions were renamed to
alpm_db_get_{pkg,grp}cache()[1]. Since this is a public API change,
shouldn't the old functions perhaps simply be deprecated and
"alias" the new
functions, instead of dropping them completely? I'd imagine this
would
potentially break some front-ends if libalpm gets updated, as was
the case
with a project of mine.

This will only appear in 3.3 which does not even have any clear
roadmap so which looks quite far away from now.
It won't be in the next 3.2.2 release.
There would probably still need to be some transition stage. As long
as you guys are aware of the potential problem, I don't really mind ;).
